This is more of a complicated offer at members-only Massdrop, but it is fully unlocked. Shipping is $9 flat regardless of purchase, and the offer has seven days to go, and will ship early March 2017. The options are, with prices _before_ shipping:

We have a new headphone arrival alert! Two of the new Audeze planar in-ears of their iSine line are now shipping from Adorama! They are the standard cable models (no Lightning cable included). The Audeze iSine 10 goes for $349, while the Audeze iSine 20 goes for $549. They both get free expedited shipping.

The Lightning Cable models, which cost $50 more each, continue to be in pre-order status.

A rare sizeable discount on a Schiit product, sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual! It is the Schiit Lyr 2 headphone amp, in “Used – Good” condition going for $374~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals. Per the listing, this is missing the power cord and the user manual, and comes in damaged original packaging. Note that supplies are typically very limited on used items, so it may be gone by the time you read this.

The black color scheme of the Sony MDR100ABN/B (bluetooth and ANC over-eras), in new condition, is currently on sale for $205 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. The other four colors hover around $230. This is not a lightning deal.

Two TFZ in-ears are currently fully unlocked at Massdrop, the Series 5 IEMs go for $55 plus $4~ flat shipping, while the 5S go for $15 more. The offer runs for the next eight days and it is estimated to ship early March 2017. It is almost February after all 🙂

I haven’t tried this particular item, I am only going by the pictures and product description, but this could be repurposed as an earphone case (or accessory holder), it is a Disney Infinity Power Disc holder (holds up to 12 discs) with a zipper up top. It is currently on sale for $2.49 each, with free shipping for Prime members (not an Add-On item *fingers crossed*) at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three units per customer. The product description states “3.1 x 3.1 x 2.5 inches” as dimensions. I don’t know if these are external or internal.

The first of the customer reviews has a couple of pictures that give you a better sense of size/shape.

I just bought one to test it, but it won’t get here until at some point on Wednesday, the sale may be over by then.

PS: you can also get in “Used – Like New” condition for $1.43 with free shipping for Prime members (or with a $49+) by Amazon Warehouse Deals.

The new condition NuForce BE6 in-ears are currently on sale for $87 with free shipping, with “Woot” being the seller of record, with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so you get free Prime shipping if a member.

The FRESHeBUDS Wireless Earbuds are currently fully unlocked at Massdrop for $22 plus $4~ flat shipping, with six days left in the listing, with a late February 2017 shipping estimate.

On the other hand, if you prefer a slightly faster delivery estimate (early to mid February), you can get it for $29 with free shipping at Stacksocial. Additional discounts if you have coupons or credits or if you are first time customer and sign up for their email list. They also have a promotion that gets you a $1 store credit for every $25 in purchases.

Another DAP is live at the members-only Massdrop shopping service, the XDuoo XD-05 DAC/Amp is unlocked at $170 plus $8~ flat shipping. This runs for the next seven days and it is expected to ship end of February 2017. Detailed specs are in the listings over there.

This Sunday lightning deal ended… Partly joke post, partly serious, good until 10:40pm ET tonight, this Banana Hanger (under the cabinet style) is a lightning deal for $6.37 with free shipping for Prime members (or with a $49+ order). Of interest as an earphone or headphone hanger 🙂

This lightning deal expired… Good until Sunday at 1:44am ET, you can get the new condition thinksound On2 wood on-ears for $142~ with free shipping. The price before the sale was $200. This is sold and shipped by Amazon actual, another one of their Saturday lightning deals.

Games without frontiers now, the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma Sound USB Gaming Headset is on sale for $54 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal. Note that this is the previous generation model. The latest generation model is the “V2”. Note also that there are non-7.1 models that don’t have the 7.1 in their name. Note also that some retailer listings maybe confused in the distinction between the two.

As of 1/29/17 recheck, this is sold out and cannot be ordered at this point in time…

If you like to try out new and/or off-the-radar products, there is a BCP-branded earphone case going for $4, sold by a marketplace seller but fulfilled by Amazon. This is not an Add-On item, so if you are a Prime member, you can get this with free shipping without the need to buy anything else. It comes with removable foam inside. The dimensions are listed over there: 5 x 3 x 1-1/2 inches outside, and 4-5/8 x 2-11/16 x 1-1/4 inches inside. It has no reviews and no questions answered, so this is for the boldly going shoppers.

And now it’s Denon time. Their closed-back Music Maniac line AH-D340 on-ears are currently on sale for $69 with free shipping by “Video & Audio Center” (a Southern California retailer with four brick and mortar stores), offering them thru Amazon. Even though these ship directly from “Video & Audio Center”, they are Prime-eligible. It is a lesser known Prime feature, where some retailers, for some of their listings, agree to ship products with Prime-like speed for Prime members. There is no explicit sign of this at Amazon, but you can easily derive it by paying attention to these two places on a product’s page:

We continue our deal-searching adventures with some Yahama in-ear action, the EPH-M200 black color scheme is on sale in new condition for $101 with free shipping and/or store pickup by Best Buy on eBay and Amazon itself.

One of the bang for the buck under $50 headphones are the Tascam TH-02 and they are currently available for under $20 at various sellers. The free shipping/delivery option makes some of these more desirable than others depending on your preferences:

It’s back on sale with a new lower price. When we posted about this during the 2016 Holidays, the sale price was $360, but right now the SINE On-Ear Headphone with Cipher 24-Bit Lightning Cable is on sale for $340 with free shipping at authorized dealer Adorama. These are planar magnetic closed-back on-ears.

If you are cool with mail-in rebates, you can get the new condition Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium Open-Back Over-Ear headphones (the 32 ohm model) for $109 after a $50 mail-in rebate at authorized dealer Adorama.com. Details on the mail-in rebate (MIR), which expires 2/15/17, in the PDF file. The PDF file says maximum two per claim. The $50 will be in the form of a prepaid Mastercard gift card.

Fostex the people! They are back on sale and with a lower sale price since the last time! The Fostex TH-900 Mark II are down to $950 with free shipping, for a limited time, in new condition, at Adorama.com. With 1.5 Tesla, you can create your own wormhole 🙂

Another day, another offer getting unlocked at the members-only but free-to-join Massdrop shopping service, this time it is the Advanced Sound M4 IEMs going for $30 plus $3.50 flat shipping. This is running for the next eight days (from blog-posting date), includes a 3-year manufacturer warranty (which is pretty sweet considering the price), comes with a handful of eartips (ten pairs), and will ship late February 2017.
